willie, i think the answer is while we could see an indictment any day, it s possible that there could be a strategy, for instance, to indict trump alone and to continue to work on the rest of the case. that seems a little bit farfetched to me. this is a case where you want to play everything by the books. you want to treat this the indictment like you would any other case. prepare it against any and all of the defendants you re looking at. we are told there is a conspiracy charge. that means that trump would not be a standalone defendant. he would need some co-defendants. looks like doj is tying up the last few things that they need in terms of details, and that they will indict at some point in the next couple of weeks, perhaps as early as this week. i think a little more likely is a couple weeks out. joyce, obviously, we have no sense of the complete fold that jack smith and other people put together. basically, from what we ve read, what we know from reporting thus
hampshire, dismissing the idea of a third party ticket if the 2024 election is a rematch of 2020. this comes as another prominent republican is calling on big money donors to consolidate support around a candidate that can defeat donald trump in the party s primary. we ll dig into the op-ed from senator mitt romney. welcome back to morning joe. tuesday, july 25th. mike barnicle, jonathan lemire, elise jordan, eugene robinson. lemire relaxing christie style. nice video poker behind him. very new hampshire. fantastic. loved it. yeah. the gov is chilling right there. we ll get into more of his analysis of this race as he continues to be really the only strong voice criticiing donald trump on the campaign trail. meanwhile, the grand jury convened by special counsel jack smith will meet today in washington to continue its work on the probe into donald trump s effort to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020
it is a strategic hope, not a tactical path. again, the question to me, and they may not sorry. they may not tell us, right? the margin in this election may be that some of these folks end up voting for president biden but can t admit it because it ll mess up the golf round, and so maybe they re just going to do it and shake their heads, you know, when their harder core friends talk about how terrible it is that trump lost. i think this is the story we have to tell. i think it s the case we have to make. i say this as somebody who is deeply sympathetic, as you know and mike knows, with that reagan, bush 41 world. this is not coming from a trotsky-ite. jon meacham putting it into clear perspective. great to see you. perhaps one of the most esteemed
extraordinary plots, including, remember, a plot to use the levers of power at the justice department to try to say there was fraud and to try to pressure states to hold, you know, special sessions of their legislature. to me, that was one of the most dangerous episodes of the whole thing. we learned about it in the january 6th committee, then the justice department really started investigating this. now, if they indict this case, it s very unlikely it could go to trial before the 2024 election, given the complexity of this case, as we understand it. so i think, i m sure there s regret, mike. you don t hear people talk about it a lot, but there is an acknowledgment that this took a bit of time and maybe it didn t have to. may take a while, especially given the former president has another case on the docket for may of next year. ken dilanian on indictment watch this morning, thanks so much. republican senator mitt romney is asking donors to help
